What prominent issues will Tao Quan 2018 "name" this year?

Tao Quan 2018 is full of entertainment and education issues

The Tao Quan crew has entered the third rehearsal session. The artists still practice together all night long, after completing their work at their workplace and family affairs as “usual”. In the first session, Meritorious Artist Chi Trung was unable to attend due to work, leading many to suspect that the male artist was not invited to play in Tao Quan this year. However, the appearance of the male artist in the recent rehearsals has dispelled all doubts and made the audience even more excited.

Thus, the cast of Tao Quan this year has not changed much compared to previous years. Besides the artists who have been with the program for many years: Meritorious Artist Chi Trung, Meritorious Artist Cong Ly, Meritorious Artist Quang Thang, Meritorious Artist Quoc Khanh, People's Artist Tu Long, Meritorious Artist Xuan Bac, Van Dung, there are also young faces Dung "hon", Trung "ruoi"... who have participated in Tao Quan in previous years.

The artists still enthusiastically practice all night despite their age and cold weather.

What the audience is most interested in is what prominent issues this year’s Tao Quan will address. Because these issues will not only bring laughter but also speak for the majority of people about the shortcomings, limitations and problems… in the past year.

Meritorious Artist Do Thanh Hai - the "master" of the program, when asked about this story, always replied: "The script has just been formed in the form of a framework and still has to go through many additions, so it is still impossible to reveal anything specific about the content of the program."

However, according to many predictions, among the "hot" issues that make public opinion "restless" that Tao Quan can hardly ignore are the resounding victory of the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2018; The rise of Vietnamese beauty in the international beauty arena, specifically the achievements of Khanh Phuong with the title of Miss Earth, H'Hen Nie in the Top 5 of Miss Universe 2018, Nguyen Huong Giang winning the title of Miss International Transgender 2018...; The spreading effect of a series of "famous" TV series such as "Quynh doll", "Ngay ay minh da yeu", "Gao nep gao te", "Ca mot doi an han", "Chay tran thanh xuan"...

In addition, shocking incidents in the education sector include: The scandal over educational technology textbooks in Vietnamese for grade 1; Draft to punish student teachers for prostitution; Female teacher forcing students to drink blackboard cleaning water in Hai Phong, female teacher slapping students in Quang Binh; Male teacher sexually abusing male students in Phu Tho; Male student insulting and strangling female teacher in front of the whole class in Ben Tre... and the unprecedented exam cheating case in the history of education in Ha Giang, Lang Son, Hoa Binh...

In addition, according to many people, the incident of 500 contract teachers losing their jobs in Dak Lak and the 76,000 missing positions according to the calculations of the Ministry of Education and Training also once again shows the overlap in recruitment and use of teachers that has existed for many years... also deserves to be included in Tao Quan.

In the socio-economic field, the most prominent cases are the trials of major corruption cases, notably the arrest of a trillion-dollar gambling ring and corruption in large economic groups. In addition, the love story “62-26” in Cao Bang, which has consumed a lot of media, is also unlikely to escape the “claws” of Tao Quan.

This year's entertainment industry alone is not short of scandals that Tao Quan can use as material to complete the multifaceted picture of life and society in 2018 such as: Lai Thanh Huong was criticized for wearing an offensive outfit to welcome U23 Vietnam on a private plane; The "fake love - real love" incident of Kieu Minh Tuan - An Nguy - Cat Phuong; The case of the runner-up who was arrested for a thousand-dollar prostitution and the model who accused the artist who drew nude art of sexual abuse...

Artists understand each other's tastes and preferences!

An artist in the Tao Quan crew humorously said, "This year's Tao Quan script is still as thick as every year. If you don't wear glasses, it will be difficult to read, and wearing glasses will strain your eyes."

Meritorious Artist Cong Ly said: “Every year, Tao Quan receives a lot of attention from many people. I can only say that Tao Quan 2019 will be very special, closely following the hottest events of the year with the most humorous lens. Let's all eagerly await the program on the evening of the 30th of Tet this year.”

Artist Cong Ly believes that the artists participating in Tao Quan understand each other to the point of knowing each other's preferences and tastes.

The male artist further explained that every year when Tao Quan season comes, the initial feeling when being invited to participate in the program is... fear. Fear because the days of practice make all the artists feel tired.

“At the end of the year, everyone is “running at full speed”, during the day they go to work, office work, outside work, and at night they stay up all night practicing Tao Quan. Honestly, making this program is extremely stressful, because everyone is always waiting for it, so everyone is stressed. Every year when people praise it, it is fun, but there is also pressure like: “What should I do next year so that the audience is not disappointed, at least it has to be the same as last year”.

Meritorious Artist Cong Ly said that the audience's praise and criticism after each Tao Quan season has made everyone feel familiar with it, so they consider it normal. For him, a popular art product should be noticed by the public, praised and criticized... which is normal. Maybe, many people like to be praised, but for him personally, he likes criticism to see if the program has achieved its goals or not, if it has not yet been improved in the Tao Quan season.

However, what makes this male artist extremely excited is that the artists participating in the program all understand each other. Because they understand each other, they are compatible in their acting, juggling and tossing without even blinking.

“Tao Quan is a special program, the performance is different and unlike any other program. Because we have been together for a long time, we do not encounter any obstacles in interacting and juggling. With just one joke, I already know what my co-star is going to say next. It is very interesting! What remains in me until now is that the artists love each other and understand each other. We even know each other's tastes, what this guy likes to eat, what flavor that girl likes, whatever delicious things we have at home we bring to each other to eat. That is the precious thing for artists like us,” Meritorious Artist Cong Ly added.
